Okay. So, The Wire by and large tried to avoid casting actors and actresses who were too famous and recognizable in order to better immerse the viewers into the world the show inhabited. That being said, there was one notable exception to that rule; which famous rapper had a recurring role on The Wire for four out of its five seasons?

[TGC]

Ludacris?

I never watched the show.

[GoGo Yubari]

It's a good guess, but no.

[Ace]

LL Cool J?

[GoGo Yubari]

Not as good a guess. Still no.

[TGC]

Final guess is Xzibit.

[GoGo Yubari]

Nope.

[Blue Rosler]

Ice Cube?

[livid]

Ice Cube?

That would imply he hasn't been neutered.

(I know who it is so I know it's not him but only because I looked it up)

[EddieG]

Ice-T ?

He was just one of the few rappers I know, and he was in one of the rubbish Fast and the Furious reboots.

He was?

I seen all 4, and only rappers I remember are Ludacris and Bow Wow

Yeah, he wasn't in any of them.

So apparently you don't even know Ice Cube, Bluey.

[GoGo Yubari]

Ice-T ?

X

[EddieG]

Are we talking on the right levels of fame?

[GoGo Yubari]

I'd say more or less, yeah. You're also in the right general mindset of "rappers who also act."

EDIT: He's definitely not as recognized for his acting as, say, Ice Cube or LL Cool J are, though.

[TGC]

I looked it up and never ever would have guessed that person ever, though I know who it is.

[zero]

Andre 3000?

[GoGo Yubari]

Nah, The Shield was the critically acclaimed crime drama that Andre 3000 was on.

Fine, bigger hint because unless Skummy or Timmayy comes in clearly nobody's going to get this; he's no one to fuck with.

Bah, it was XXX.

I knew it was a Vin Diesel reboot, close enough >_>
